Straight out of The Mascoteers’ game lab comes Dropple, the latest original release from the creators of 360 Degree and Circlify. It’s all about timing in Dropple! As the player, you need to help a ball bounce its way down a long stairway, setting out the steps in front of it as it builds up speed. Tap to place the a step in front of the bouncing ball, but make sure you get it in line with the angle the ball is taking, otherwise it could be game over. Place it too far off to the side, and your ball will hit the step on an angle and bounce away. But if you hesitate and take too long to place the step, the ball will bounce off the edge of the stairway. Will you take it nice and slow, ensuring that each step is place accurately, or speed ahead and place multiple steps in quick succession to get a head start early?! Dropple might seem simple at first but strategy certainly plays apart. Adapting the recently released Stairway, this fun-fill new app provides a unique gaming experience that appeals to all ages. With colourful and alluring 3D graphics, Dropple looks and feels great with simple gameplay that challenges you more and more as you progress through the game. Step into the Dropple world and keep yourself entertained for hours! Available for free now.
